Re: Original newspaper For sale ad.

Looks incredible,

Interesting to know the mighty boy has only lost half (give or take) of its value for a good condition. Is there any more to that newspaper?

Re: Speedo Sensor?

If you could put photos of your setup that would be great to g...

Re: Speedo Sensor?

That info helps alot thank you, Ive looked into how that reed switch works and tested it (silly me thought i would get a straight answer from the multi-meter in km/h). i do not have the auto manual pages that you said i should look at, i am also unsure of what type of digital speedo would take the s...

Re: Worth swapping carby?

Runs well, 
Ive just removed the auto gear off the carby and dropped it in. for anyone wanting to know if the auto carby will work on a manual the answer is yes. performance is defiantly recognizable.

Thanks

Re: Speedo Sensor?

Thanks for the input I have tried with the more common outputs (resistance and voltage) but the result is not linear with the increase in speed. Finding a digital hatch cluster would be really hard id reckon because of the rarity of them let alone the ones with digital. Do you know the input / outpu...

Speedo Sensor?

Hey all,

I am curious as to what this chip does that sits atop the automatic Hatch / mighty boy speedo's. And if it is a speed sensor is it possible to make a digital readout for it?

Thanks

Re: Worth swapping carby?

alright il get round to it when I find the time. the carbie on the hatch has all the auto gear on it, is it just as easy to remove the auto gear and put it on or are there internal differences?

Worth swapping carby?

Hey all, My Mighty-boy currently has an F8B with a F5A carby (only one i could source at the time) and i am wondering if its worth the hastle to remove an F8B carby from a hatch i recently acquired as it will need a fair bit of carb cleaner and un-seizing  bolts to remove. Will i see any noticeable ...

Sound deadener

so I've finished doing both doors and they sound much more like a heavy car door instead of tin. I'm now wondering about the firewall, I have pingjing and some CCF should i strip the stock stuff off and line it all with new stuff or is there a better way to deaden the firewall?

Re: Sound deadening, Thoughts?

You are not joking when you say that adding sound deadening can easily add up to 20-30 kgs of weight.. the ping jing stuff just arrived and it weighs around 15Kgs

Re: Type of Radiator

The mini cooper radiator is probably your best bet, hell even i put one in when i was 16. you will need to do minimal modification (just some angle metal, measuring tape, few bolts and a drill) and your all set the F5a radiator is probably fine if you only want to do small drives with the F8B but it...
